- The Daily Show\Colbert Report. More insight in fake news than 'real' news.
- Battle Star Galactica. (the new one) Big fan of the retro-tech look, and the writers actually have a good explanation for it. (not just budget constraints.)
- Justice League Unlimited. Great animation, great stories.
edit ps:
- I tried watching CSI a couple of times, but one scene from some episode just got me really turned off. Now I understand the whole thing about suspension of disbelief, story trumps scientific accuracy etc etc. After all I don't get too upset when the Imperial Storm Troopers are touted as fearsome soldiers in the SW Galaxy, but in practice they have a real hard time hitting the broad side of a barn. I understand that there wouldn't be much of a story if Luke was gunned down by a storm trooper who put his time in the firing range, instead of being mind tricked by old Jedis and some British droid.
Anyway the scene had the forensic super cops discussing the crime scene. One said the fatal injuries was caused from a firearm, but there is no shell casings to be found. The other then replied it must have been done by a professional who collected the ejected shells afterward.
Now I'm not a cop. And maybe it was meant as a super sarcastic joke that was delivered by the actor so well it flew over my head. But hasn't these detectives ever heard of a 'super evil' handgun that doesn't automatically eject it's shells after it's fired? You know like this one. http://rabbit116.tripod.com/images/Colt2.jpg
